That's because he only played half a season. He sat out the other half because of his own dumbassery (twice).
Any student athlete who doesn't think that $2,000 is a lot is NOT struggling to make ends meet. If you want to give them a piece of the pie, whatever. But don't insult us with this BS about them struggling to pay the bills. At least not for football and basketball players.
From the linked article:
What exactly is "other school financial aid"
Are the baseball players still getting screwed over or do most of them have "other school financial aid"?

i'm more interested in the ability of individual schools to offer single year or multi-year scholarships. obviously the bama's and lsu's are gonna still get the biggest names, but they aren't gonna guarantee every player a 4 year scholarship, or else they'll seriously have to cut back on their numbers. say if bama's backup plan 4* LB has a single year offer from bama and a 4 year offer from msu, we stand a decent shot at pulling the kid instead of him going to bama and being cut in a few years.
personally, i think signing limits and multi-year scholarships helps msu and ole miss more than hurts us, because we'll catch the filter down of players who bama and lsu and auburn used to round up and get lost in the shuffle. instead of signing every 4* on their board and seeing where their development stands in 3 years, saban will actually have to evaluate the talent now and decide which 4* he thinks is better and probably let the other walk, where he ends up signing with msu or ole miss.
